World CBT Day was launched by the WCCBT in 2019 to increase awareness of evidence-based mental health care. World CBT Day is celebrated on World Health Day in recognition of the fact that mental health is a fundamental aspect of health.
The theme for World CBT Day 2026 is CBT in Action: Mental Health Support in Humanitarian Crises. This theme aligns with the World Health Organization’s (WHO) emphasis on mental health and psychosocial support in humanitarian crises, emergencies and disaster contexts (click these links for more information: World Mental Health Day; WHO fact sheet)
